According to the frequent HTC leaker LlabTooFeR, who shared a screenshot of the update changelog, the 4.3 update for the One doesn’t bring a bump in the Sense version, but does come with a few tweaks and improvements.

The phone will now show a battery charging animation even when it’s powered off, and users can now add sound to video highlights.

The update also improves the contrast of images taken in low-lighting conditions. It’s not clear yet if this is the fix to the purple-tinting issue that some HTC One users experience when taking shots in very low light. The Taiwanese company acknowledged the problem back at the beginning of the month and said it’s working on a fix via software update.

Android 4.3 mostly brings changes under the hood, such as increased security, support for OpenGL ES 3.0, and support for Bluetooth Smart. For now, we don’t have official information on the release of the Android 4.3 update for HTC One in other regions, though its kickoff in Taiwan and its impending arrival on the Developer Edition make us hope for a speedy rollout.

I understand all the processes that must take place before updates can be rolled out….but its so frustrating!!! i just want updates to come out before the device is actually being phased out. Some of the features in the 4.3 update shouldve been on board on day one.

Then it should hit the other countries in a week or two (international version).

Various feedbacks from taiwanese HTC One users said the purple tint wasn’t fixed by this update. So to my purple tint colleagues let’s cross fingers that the wasn’t bundled yet on this update.
